Daily Routine
The School Day
We begin the school day at 8:45am, although the classrooms are open from 8:30am to enable parents to drop off and children to get settled.
A 15 minute mid-morning break is provided for all children. We have an hour for lunch from 12:15pm – 1:15pm and the children eat in the school hall in two sittings. Each child will have a set lunch table which he or she joins each day made up of pupils from their year group. Infant children have an additional playtime in the afternoon. School finishes at 3:15pm, and the children are released from their classrooms by their teachers and support staff. Our school week consists of 32.5 hours.
If you need to make changes to your child’s collection arrangements, please contact the school office with plenty of notice, and before 3pm at the latest.
School Lunches
Through the universal infant free school meals scheme we can provide all children in Reception and Years 1 & 2 with a free hot lunch.
There is a menu choice every day offering plenty of variety through the week. For more information please see the lunches page on this website.
You are of course welcome to send your child to school with their own packed lunch. We do ask that lunchboxes offer healthy choices which will promote your child’s learning.
Please note, we request that no sweets, chocolate bars or fizzy drinks are included in lunchboxes and also to make you aware that we are a nut free school and therefore request that you opt for food items that do not contain nuts.
